I Believe in ART for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

This week on the Memory Maze Blog I created a mini canvas with a quote I thought most craft/art people would understand and appreciate 
Make sure to check out the Blog and take a look at everything else that's going on over there

I painted all the chipboard with white gesso first to prime it all for what I was going to do next

On the frame I used the Frank Garcia Artisan Powders to make the chipboard look like timber

The Colour Shimmer Sprays I used in Just Blue, Singing the Blues, Envy and Snow White I used to make my painting in my frame and add to the jar of water to make it look like it had been used for the painting and the Bling I used on the paper clay key hole I painted a few layers to get the depth of colour I wanted

 Colour Paste in Fire Engine, Sunshine and Singing the Blues not that you can see the Sunshine through the Paint Brush Stencil Jar splats to add to the art part of the canvas

It's a great stencil as it has the jar, the brushes and the splats 

 I also used the Colour Shimmer Spray Fire Engine Spray on the handles of the scissors painting it on a few times so it came out nice and deep and then used some Finnabair Old Silver Wax on the blades to make them look more like real scissors lol

On the border I used Colour Shimmer Cube Tangerine Dream 

I added a Heart from Charms Creations and a flair button from It's and Bits Craft Supplies 

And loads of flowers lol

Whoo for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

This weeks project includes my favourite animal and you will see thatI use them a lot in my projects they are just so beautiful and I can only use so many pictures of people LOL 

I made a process video of this one on YouTube so please watch and subscribe to my channel, give me a thumbs up and leave me some feedback good or bad I'm happy for creative ideas

So I turned the canvas around and used modelling paste along the edge to cover the timber and staples

Then covered the whole thing with gesso as well as all my chipboard

With the Branch from the Young Wild and Free I painted it with Colour Shimmer Spray Leather, then the feathers that are cut out I used Colour Shimmer Dust Amber, Candy, Lush and Cobalt and the other feathers I used clear gesso mixed with Colour Mica Powders Polar, Cool Mint and Watermelon and the little leaf I used some Colour Paste Apple of My Eye 

With the Colour Mica Powders Polar, Cool Mint and Watermelon after the clear gesso dried the Colour Mica Powders dried with no shimmer so I went over them again with a little bit of the powder and water and the shimmer was back

Here I rusted the Owl Steam Punked and the cogs with some brown paint that I had mixed some fine sand with then add some Rusty Paper Paint randomly over them

I then added a Flutterby Design Flair Button (one of my favourite embellishments) to give him a heart and add some more detail to him

I used Colour Shimmer Dust Lollipop and Colour Shimmer Spray Sunshine on the canvas sides and background

I used some little white flowers and some glass cabochons randomly for some added texture

Here you can see the Mayhem chipboard which I painted with Colour Shimmer Dust Peacock

I added a metal piece across the middle of the canvas

I added the three different sized Finnabair Art Stones mixed with some Helmar Super-Tac Glue and stuck them in different places over the canvas with some more metal

Here you can see where I added some muslin to the background for another texture and more metal and flowers yes I really do love metal and flowers

Something Beautiful for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

I love using quotes they are so inspirational and this is one that we all should use instead of always having negative things to say about people try find the good 

This project for Colour Blast I also created a Youtube video for so make sure you check it out and subscribe to both my channel and the Colour Blast channel

Make sure you visit the BLOG and see what the other Design Team members have been creating for inspiration

I used the Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Spray in Leather,

Colour Shimmer Dust in Sunflower (which I made into a spray)  and the Colour Artist Inks in Spice and Grass

I used the Colour Shimmer Dust in Sunflower and the Colour Artist Inks in Spice and Grass on the background adding water to the inks to water them down a little

I then used the Colour Artist Inks in Spice and Grass on the paper clay leaves and flowers painting the colours on with a brush ( I have grass and spice coloured fingers) 

I brushed on the Colour Shimmer Spray in Leather on the edges of the stencilled pattern 

I used Colour Shimmer Dust Sunflower mixed with water on the paper clay key hole and key for a pop of colour

I used Prima flowers, Memory Maze Chipoard and a Flutterby Design Flair Button
I also added some micro beads for added texture and interest

These are the Colour Blast Products I used on my project which you can find HERE
